About Me

I was born and raised in West Virginia, in a place made of ancient stories and stone. Growing up, I developed a deep and abiding connection with the land and all her creatures. Growing up close to the land planted the seeds for my creative spiritual practice.

Over a decade ago, I moved to In Baton Rouge. There, I found community that embraced my passion for storytelling and spirit healing. Through community connection, I am honing my craft and discovering the profound impact that stories can have on our souls.

The Stories I tell

My writing and healing practices sit at the intersection of trauma, transformation and tradition. This space aims to foster healing, build community connections, and raise awareness of my cultural and spiritual traditions while sharing my passion for creative writing.

I write to break the chains around the necks of my grandmothers and to restore the pride of my grandfathers…and in my personal healing–bring about the healing of the collective.

My Healing Practices

As an Ovate in the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, I draw upon creative magic, ancient wisdom and deep connection to the land to guide my practice. My journey as a folk magic practitioner allows me to blend these timeless teachings with practicality and the unique energy of the present moment.

My healing style is a mixture of those spiritual practices and skills I’ve learned throughout my own healing journey. So, whether you’re a practical or spiritual person, I’ve got a healing method that will work for you!

Transformation

Using my experience with CBT and my deep connection with the solar cycle, I can help you transform your inner self and find your way out of unhelpful cycles.

Spirit Healing

Through energy work, meditation, and journeying, I can help you get in touch with and heal your spirit, the spirit of your land, and the spirits of your ancestors.

Manifestation

Using pathworking and deep understanding of the cycles of death and becoming, I can help you visualize what you want and find a pathway to bringing it into your reality.

Community Services

My services to the Community include facilitation of community events and promotion of businesses, services, and events that foster connection and healing.

Note: I am not a licensed therapist. Any therapeutic tools I use are based on my personal experience with them. My healing is not a substitute for professional healing services.
